7 Spots Your Guy Should Touch (But Doesn't)

According to new research, women need more than just penetration to get off during sex. (Can't say we're shocked, but we're glad scientists are catching on.) We asked Good Vibes staff sexologist Carol Queen, PhD, to break down the hottest spots our guys should be paying more attention to in the sack. You might want to pass this on to you-know-who…

Um…perfect excuse for a serious foot massage. Not only will the stress relief make it easier for you to get in the mood, but every nerve ending in your soles will be on red alert for arousal.

Your Neck

The thin, sensitive skin on your neck makes every kiss and touch radiate through your body, getting you primed for the main event. Plus, your guy can feel your heartbeat when he strokes and kisses here—hot.

Your Stomach

Temperature is key here. Have him rub an ice cube over your nipples and down your belly, or drip melted chocolate around your navel and have him lick it off. The temperature changes bring blood to the area, and you know what's right next to your stomach... .

Your Ear Lobes

Sure the sweet nothings are nice, but whispering in your ear also stimulates the soft skin of your ear lobes. Sucking on them isn't a bad idea either.

Your Mouth

According to Queen, some women can't get turned on at all without kissing (girl, we feel you). Bonus points if he cups your face while kissing you. The more skin contact the better.

Your Inner Thighs

Your upper inner thighs have almost as many nerve endings as your lady parts. So have him lightly run his hands up and down your leg before he goes in for the kill.

Your Nipples

A lot of guys don't give nipples the love they deserve, or the right kind of love. Maybe light blowing on them drives you crazy, or maybe you need nipple clamps to get off. Every nipple is different, so you'll have to speak up about what you like on this one.
